He added that the University of Jordan's student branch is one of the most active branches in the Kingdom and the nucleus from which the Jordan section was launched. This reflects the University of Jordan's position in supporting both technical and student excellence.

The Jordan section's win of the award follows a year filled with qualitative achievements during 2024/2025, most notably the opening of seven new student branches at different Jordanian universities, bringing the total number of branches to 26; the establishment of eight new local groups specializing in modern technologies; the launch of 20 new technical units within Jordanian universities; and the increase in the number of student and professional units to 127.

The section also excelled in the award's criteria, which included institutional expansion and branch sustainability, growth in membership, implementation of technical projects serving the community, high-quality educational and professional programs, administrative transparency and interaction through social media, documentation of more than 1,473 events in one year, and effective representation at the regional and global levels.

This global achievement reflects Jordan's growing status as a regional technology hub and the success of the IEEE Jordan section as a global model for organization, innovation, and community service. It also confirms that institutional volunteer work, supported by Jordanian universities, is capable of achieving exceptional results that raise the nation's flag in international forums.
